Trying to Regain Leg Strength Post-Operations

According to Hill, he has no power in his left leg but is hopeful about fully regaining strength through daily efforts. 'I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now,' he said. The video shared on social media shows him running and jumping outside at his Florida home.

‘You know, they told me I might not be able to walk again, and the doctor is like, “Bro, we don’t know what’s going to happen with your future,”' Hill shared in his video. 'But now look at me. God is good,' he insisted, expressing confidence in his current state.
